Roedean Awards

At Roedean, we are dedicated to widening access for local families. Each year we offer financial support to parents of gifted pupils whose circumstances would otherwise put Roedean beyond their reach.

Eligibility

The Awards Committee has a specified sum available to award to pupils at their discretion each year. Meeting the baseline criteria for financial assistance is not the only prerequisite for receiving a bursary award.

Applicants will be assessed on their academic performance, as demonstrated in the entrance assessment papers and their school report, in order to best direct funding decisions.

Levels of assistance

In order to give potential applicants an idea of the level of assistance that might be available, the Awards Committee have set a scale that could provide for up to:

90% assistance for assessable income of around £20,000

75% assistance for assessable income of around £30,000

50% assistance for assessable income of around £45,000

25% assistance for assessable income of around £55,000

20% assistance for assessable income of around £60,000

10% assistance for assessable income of around £70,000

Applicants should be aware that, even if a full bursary is awarded, they will be required to pay the £150 registration fee (non-refundable).

External applications and deadlines

Tuesday 1 December 2015

Applications received after the deadline cannot be considered.

Notes

Once awarded, the continuation of a bursary depends upon the pupil’s sustained academic achievement.

Bursary awards are subject to annual assessment and must be reapplied for every year.
